Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, quick-steering chassis and a demanding riding position.
PurposeBuilt for spirited cornering and boutique Italian sportbike ownership rather than outright top-speed bragging rights.
Rider FitExpect a committed, forward-leaning stance with high footpegs and firm suspension that rewards an active, fit rider.
CharacterA rare, handcrafted trellis-framed exotic that pairs a torquey Ducati L-twin with razor-sharp handling and premium Brembo and Marzocchi componentry.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for new riders, pillion-focused touring, or anyone seeking long-distance comfort and low maintenance.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Bimota DB5S, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
